Stars and moon each show brilliance subdue
Shadows vividly in view
Their pure clean essence emanate

Calm and free I feel
In awe I wish but unable to share this felicity with you

My exile in the southern town I strive to forget
As I self-reflect
I did everything in order and clean as ice nugget
In thin short hair I now wear clothes simple and plain
My skiff and I glide with no worry in this immense expanse

How I’d like to take the Yangtze for cooking water
And wield the Dipper my spatula
To share a feast wildly with my celestial roomer

I beat my bulwark in tune with my croons
What date is this night who cares to know
